Austrian-American Kirsten Hiller, Paz Soto Salinas from Chile-Germany and the Israeli with Ukrainian origin Tatiana Pogrebnyak are the favourites among 438 designers with more than 1500 submitted works and enter now the finalist round of the Triumph International Fashion Award 2006.
At this time an international expert jury evaluates the works of these three designers on the topic " Dress up for Mozart – Rock up Rococo !" to select the winner.
The winner of the Triumph International Fashion Award is carried out in three steps of selection:
1. At first, the 7 Selected are evaluated among all works by an expert jury.
2. Then the readers of the fashion magazine fahionoffice.org choose in a public online voting the 3 Finalists . This year 9,563 registered voices have voted for their favourite designer. (A special technical system has restricted the votes to one voice per computer.)
3. Now, the 3rd round of the election is taking place: an international jury of experts evaluates the 3 different designs of each of the 3 Finalists to determine the winner of the Triumph International Fashion Award 2006. At the beginning of September the triumphant winner will be published on www.fashionoffice.org/triumph.
